All I can say is, Thank you, Steffi, for giving so much of your beauty (that of your personality and also your body) and the sense that I/we are special in your life. Your sets give me happiness and hope in such large measure that all I can do is hope you feel it too in your life.

I do know it takes a lot of work to do what you both achieve - experience, control, and the balance of intuition. Somehow you and Rylsky create a larger-than-life portrait of how good life can be with someone like you. You create something beyond real life - something like myth, or legend, and stardom - yet bring it all down to earth and then make it seem like play, not the major miracle you are. (Like how an athlete or dancer makes it all look like anyone can do it.) You make it seem like we have done it, shared it. Shared something...

I think the rest of my life will be remembering you, marked by you. As if you're real and we've shared something. Thank you for this that you both have done.

(I know it's make believe, I know it's teasing and playing with how easy we're fooled. But it's so so good!)
